This keeps happening to me... i've added exceptions to both the internet protocols and all the programs, i've tried running as administrator and everything else... please help...

this is ridiculous.. and a little too coincidental that i happen to not able to launch the game after the most recent patch

can you please actually help me properly this time by not just giving me a link to an updated launcher, thinking it's gonna be ok .... it didn't work last time... would have responded...
but "Branflakes jumped the gun and locked the thread without any feedback as to whether it worked

thanks in advance if actual help is given
yours sincerely ... a Loyal 3 year lifetime STO Member!
